  • Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I Women’S
    Indoor Track and Field DIVISION I WOMEN’S Highlights Lady Vols show world-class distance dominance: Tennessee dominated Division I women’s indoor track March 13-14 – and dominated the world for more than 10 minutes. The Lady Vols captured the school’s second team title in five years at the Division I Women’s Indoor Track and Field Championships and won two events during competition at Texas A&M – including a victory in world-record time in the distance medley relay. Tennessee’s time of 10 minutes, 50.98 seconds, in that event sliced more than three seconds off Villanova’s 21-year-old world mark in the 1,200-/400-/800-/1,600-meter medley, and eight seconds off UCLA’s 2002 meet record. The relay squad was anchored for the second straight year by Sarah Bowman, who figured in both Lady Vols’ event titles and collected a second meet record when she out- leaned Texas Tech’s Sally Kipyego to win the mile run. “Oh, my gosh, look at what we’ve done this weekend,” said Bowman, who also was a member of the 2005 indoor championship team. “I couldn’t ask for a sweeter weekend my senior year. I can’t even put it into words. It’s so amazing. “The heart that this team has, I could actually tear up just talking about them. Just to be out here with these girls who are putting their hearts on the line for the team, and it makes you want to do it all the more. It’s awesome to be part of a team like that.” Tennessee coach J.J.

    2015 HONOR ROLL OF DONORS WITH BOARD LEADERSHIP AND STAFF Unmatched Generosity HONORING DU’S MAJOR SPONSOR Major Sponsors have chosen to make an immediate and significant impact on wetlands conservation today through their support of Ducks Unlimited’s mission. These philanthropists are leading the charge to secure our continent’s wetland and waterfowl habitat to make the vision of full skies a reality. Please contact Kathy McCollum at 901-758-3710 or [email protected] for information about being included in next year’s annual report. 58 2015 Annual Report photo credit: Gary Kramer A LETTER FROM DUCKS UNLIMITED SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF DEVELOPMENT Mike Woodward Rescue Our Wetlands! What simple and direct words to describe the campaign we are undertaking. Those three words are a call to arms for the next three years for you and me and the others we need to lead in the work of conservation. Let me share with you something I hope speaks to you about why you and I need to do more of the great work we do. To me, philanthropy is about giving back to the birds and wetlands and honoring the people and places that are special in my life. I am who I am because of education, experience and the special people who have shown me how to live a purposeful life. This deepening knowledge makes me appreciate where I came from and offers me a chance to preserve the special places where life has taken me. Few things excite me more than returning to an old haunt and seeing the birds return there as they have my entire life.

For the race, ten hedges of a height of 83.8 centimeters are located along a straight path of 100 meters. The first obstacle is placed after a run-up of 13 meters from the starting line. The next 9 hurdles are 8.5 metres apart, and the home stretch from the last hurdle to the finish line is 10.5 meters long. The obstacles are set up so that they will fall over if dunked in by the runner, but weighted so this is unfavorable. Fallen obstacles do not count towards runners provided they do not encounter them on purpose. Like the 100 m sprint, the 100 m hurdles begins with athletes in the starting blocks. The fastest 100 meter hurdles run the distance in around 12.5 seconds. The world record set by Kendra Harrison stands in 12.20 seconds. History Cornelia Oschkenat (nearest camera), Heike Theele and Kerstin Knabe (1986) The race started back in the 1830s in England where wooden barriers were placed along a 100 yard. The hurdles competition was included as part of the first women's world championships in 1922 and made its first appearance at the Olympic Games in 1932 as an 80m hurdles instead of the 100m.
